Over the last 15 years a wide range of software vendors have pitched point solutions to building operators, heads of engineering and facilities directors. These value propositions have gained some traction but haven’t crossed the chasm of technology innovation due to a lack of widespread adoption. In the last 6 months, multiple technology vendors have converged on a shared vision for improving the financial performance of real estate portfolios by connecting investment strategies with multiple metrics for facility performance. At Verdantix, we refer to this as Facilities Optimization Management. This webinar explores how functionality from energy software, computerized maintenance and management software, integrated workplace management systems and real estate management software will evolve into end-to-end platforms that offer a more compelling value proposition than today’s many point solutions. We further explore how this creates opportunities for consultants and FM firms.

This webinar shares data from the updated market size and forecast models for sustainability consulting and assurance. With a global market sized at just over $1 billion in 2016 and weak growth of 4% annually forecasted over the next five years, the sustainability services market is challenged by poorly defined corporate functional needs and lenient public policy drivers. Based on recent Verdantix research with sustainability decision-makers and practice heads at consulting firms, we will share our insights on why spend on sustainability consulting by heads of sustainability will decline over the next 5 years with no prospect for a significant pick up in spending. The data points to increasing spend on sustainability projects by other business functions but this poses its own challenges for partners tasked with selling “sustainability projects”.
